Finally finished up my bb spring conversion. The Ghea collars are soo nice just had to shave a bit on the front shock tower to make it easier to make adjustments. Im dieing to try out the new setup... just have to now drive 2 hours to the next nearest track since my local track is redoing their layout and prepping the dirt. So this saturday ill get to try out the new setup. Pretty stoked!

Thanks!

Yes, WCRC. I currently run the Red/Yel combo with the full pack, but with heavier oils. No added weight needed for the shorty?

i run 1/2 oz in front of the servo,1/4 oz in each rear triangle,1/2oz next to receiver and the ballast weight in the rear,car is pretty good down at sdrc which is way looser then west coast,I'm sure when i make it to west coast it should be pretty stuck to the track!

Default Differential bolt breaking?

Has anyone had problems with their differential thrust bolt breaking? I have now broken two in the last week and I can not figure out why. Please help!! Thanks! Oh, I am running a 17.5t Tekin motor with a Tekin RS ESC. Gearing is 72t spur gear with a 31t pinion.

I don't think it's from tightening the bolt, but I will check the washer and see what I find.

Hey guys I'm having problems getting my b4 to turn, I have the worlds Ed. With the setup on it that came with it, I'm pushing the front end bad and cant figure out why. I have the ribbed tires on front, any ideas or any suggestions? Read back a little but didn't see anything on steering thanks!!

try adding 1/4 to 1/2 oz weight in the front or top of the bulkhead.
Also tire choice makes a big difference describe the type of track you run on.. Then we can recommend some different tires

Same thing happened to me the screw end just broke into the nut i believe it will happen if you over tighten it to much i think i over tightened it to much thats why it broke.

Thanks for the feedback all. I've just ordered 2 of the GensAce packs.

So, will there be a pretty big difference when I put the first pack in and run it? lol
I hope I do notice a significant difference. When I purchased my charger I got lucky. I got the Onyx 235 so it has everything I need.

Thanks! I will see what happens if I don't tighten it down too much.

Diffs are cheap enough and too expensive to waste, I would replace the whole unit and never look back.
